Testimonial for Kristina Nielsen | Birth Doula & Photography Available
We worked with Kristina Nielsen as our birth doula and it was the very best investment in my mental and physical health leading up to and through the delivery of our son.
Kristina has my highest recommendation - what an all-around quality person. She deeply listens to understand and I never felt any sense of agenda, bias, or judgment on her part. From the very first meet and greet, she was invested in my input, preferences, and well-being. She is knowledgeable and practical - which has her always organized, professional, and reliable.
During our check-ins leading up to the birth, she provided wonderful resources, exercises, recommendations, and information that were responsive to my questions and requests. I can speak to Kristina's strengths in active listening, empathy, and problem solving skill across a broad spectrum of peri and post natal topics and concepts.
These competencies combined with an approachable, humorous, and authentic personality made even the tougher moments of childbirth more manageable. Kristina expertly assisted me in navigating hospital staff and decision points, and helped me advocate for myself throughout the birth process. Her presence in the hospital room walked the perfect line of respecting the staff and processes while providing assistance, encouragement, and looking out for my comfort and needs. I have no doubt she is an invaluable presence regardless of where you choose to give birth. She was a wonderful support to my more reserved partner and looked out for his needs as well.
It was a joy to work with Kristina; I am grateful she was a part of our child's birth.
